Hanging Hearts

by Joanne Wardle

Hanging Hearts

The structure of this card came about by accident, when I messed up the white background that I had mounted the pink onto. I decided to cut down the card and was left with a square wondering what to do with it.

Instructions

On a 3 inch square of pale pink paper stamp 3 of the stitched borders from the top and stamp the hearts so that they appear to be hanging.

Distress edge of paper with scissor blade and then run edges along black ink pad.

Tie a knot in a piece of ribbon and glue to middle heart string.
Using some waste ribbon, attach between the light pink layer and a 4.5 inch square dark pink layer.

Stamp cross stitch border and I love you on dark pink card.

Back with white card.
Cut another piece of white card and a piece of pale pink paper the same size as the card front.
Crease these ¾ inch from edge and glue to the front.
Punch two holes and tie with wide spotty ribbon.
